Ein tödliches Virus von epischen Ausmaßen hat die weltweite Zivilisation weitgehend zusammenbrechen lassen. Die Chancen für die Menschheit stehen schlecht, die kontinentübergreifende Epidemie durchzustehen. Während in einer abgeschotteten Militäranlage in Los Angeles fieberhaft nach einem Heilmittel gesucht wird, begibt sich Ärztin Lauren (Rachel Nichols) mit einer kleinen Einheit auf eine Mission. Laurens Auftrag: das Team leiten, Nichtinfizierte aufspüren und alle heil zur Basis zurückbringen. Der Routine-Einsatz läuft allerdings durch unvorhergesehene Ereignisse schnell aus dem Ruder ...

It isn’t as bad as you might think at first glance. I didn’t expect anything from the movie and the outcome is that I got a number of nice scenes from a first-person perspective, which has already been done by Hardcore Henry, but I haven’t seen it before watching this movie. Don’t look for a story in this movie, look for action, which really isn’t shot badly at all.

John Suits isn't a bad director in the low budget film genre. His previous effort, The Scribbler, impressed with its unorthodox form and in Pandemic he tries again and succeeds better than before. The biggest upside is the handling of the POV format, which adds a touch of dynamism and authenticity, and at times you get the feeling you're playing a very action-packed CGI romp. As for the plot, it's completely bland, taking place in the near future where most of the population is infected and what I liked is that the infection has up to five stages. There is quite a lot of action, it's long, pleasantly brutal and very suspenseful. In places the film also manages to create a dense horror atmosphere that reminded me of REC. An unexpected surprise for me. I had fun. Better than the shitty Wyrmwood. 75%.

It might be from whichever perspective, but this film simply can't hide that it doesn't have what it takes to tell a truly new story; it just rehashes what has already been done so many times. This is nothing more than a survival film featuring zombies, or something very similar to them. It’s pretty boring.
